Governor of Abia state, Alex Otti, has said he has no intention of running for the senate after his “eight-year” stint.
Speaking at a reception held in his honour by the Anambra Development Unions Association, Aba branch, Otti dismissed reports suggesting he was eyeing a senate seat, describing them as “unfounded” and “misleading”.
“When I finish my eight years here, I will retire. I am not going to Abuja,” said the governor.
Otti also urged critics to refrain from spreading what he termed “falsehoods”, adding that the political space should be opened up for younger Nigerians.
“We are no longer that young. Society is changing, and the young ones are rising. It’s time we give them the opportunity,” he said.
